Why I like it:
A band that is truly unique in their style. They have aggressive shouting one second, to soothing melodic verses in another. It's like if a hardcore band met an indie band and decided to have a child.
If you like Alexisonfire for the juxtaposition of brutal screaming with soft spoken singer-songwriter styles, then I think you might just like Bear Vs Shark too. The genres are not exactly the same but it's a unique blend of styles that breaks ground and has inspired new generations.
If want a direct example of their inspiration of a new upcoming band, check out the Washed Up Emo interview linked below. There's a band called Dogleg that took inspiration from Bear Vs Shark and they are amazing! It's actually this interview that got me to really deep dive into Bear Vs Shark in the first place.
Right Now, You're in the Best of Hands. And If Something Isn't Quite Right, Your Doctor Will Know in a Hurry I chose to cover because of the simple fact that this is one that I first connected with. The album has fantastic pacing and will help you burn off any pent up emotions with all the shouting and head banging you will be doing!
